You really want to find out if they are polled,because it is not good practice to breed polled with polled.We have five polled goats right now,and if it runs in their genes we keep an closer eye on their kids when they are born.You are correct you will feel pointy horns (buds) on the ones that...

I will try to answer some of your questions. We have found that the Fainting goats are easier to house and raise then a Pygmy. The Pygmy goat is always looking for ways to get out of his pen,either by climbing or just tearing things up from fences to barn siding or anything else he can touch...

We also have an Almond Joy Obie, we just named her kids..,Willy Wonka (buckling) and Baby Ruth (doeling). We all love to see baby pictures, so you have to post them when she kids. :D

When we bring in a new goat we quarantine it for at least 30 days, worm it, and catch up on shots if needed. Then the LGD is introduced to the new goat first, so that they get used to each other. Then we turn the newbie out with the rest of the herd and keep a close eye on them. We have a...

We have a 13 week old LGD. When I found the new buckling, (was not expecting her to kid just yet), Nuge was keeping all the other goats away from baby and mom...Now if the buckling gets out, Nuge will herd him back to mom. My question is...Is this normal for a LGD at this age or something we...

Here are some pictures of are first kid,it ended up being a Buckling and it was Ella's first kid.

Thanks for the info,and I'm very sorry to here about Razor,he sounded like he was one heck of a dog. I do not know how much Anatolian or Pyrenees he has in him,his mom was marked a lot like him,did not see the father. It was amazing to see the path they had worn around the property fence line,I...
